So much for the wire-haired fox terrier as he is found in 

 this country A.D. 1902, and the best of the bench winners 

 have been or are still owned by Mr. W. Carrick (brother 

 to Mr. J. C. Carrick, once master of the Carlisle Otter 

 Hounds), the late Mr. Donald Graham, Mr. Harding Cox, 

 Lord Lonsdale, Mr. Lindsay Hogg, Mr. R. F. Mayhew 

 (now in America), Mr. A. Maxwell, Mr. J. W. Corner, Sir
